Chapter 204: Li Yu
The moon hung high in the deserted sky, white and shining, and under the moonlight, the mist of the hot spring pool water was hazy, and there was a sound of rustling in my ears.
In the white mist, two people sat in the thick yellow sulfur hot spring pool, and the other said slowly: "Morning, did you hear any sounds?" ”
Wu Chen listened quietly for a while, and sure enough, some voices came from a distance, and suddenly Jun's face was dyed with a touch of red, and he only said stiffly: "What sound, I didn't hear it." ”
A low chuckle came from a deep man's voice, "Chen, if you didn't hear it, why did your face suddenly turn red?" ”
"It's because the hot spring pool is so hot that it smokes me!" Wu Chen reacted quickly, and directly found a more reasonable reason.
It's a pity that the man next to him didn't believe it, and a broad palm suddenly covered his leg, "Then why is there a reaction here?" ”
Wu Chen quickly dodged, "Hey, Li Yu! Don't touch it, okay! It's a pity that the movements are still slow, and his little brother has been caught in the palm of his hand.
"Don't ......" Wu Chenjun's face turned red to the root of his ears, and he hurriedly grabbed his wrist, trying to make him stop this action. A pair of obsidian-like eyes looked at the man next to him who had liked him for seven years: Li Yu.
The reason why Li Yu appeared in this newly completed leisurely villa has to start from the time when the leisurely villa was built.
The eldest brother was sucked away by the black hole of the lotus pond in Wufu for no reason, and he didn't know which world he ran to be chic, but he threw away the huge family business of Wufu, and Wu Chen, the second son of Wufu, who had always been a shopkeeper, was forced to take over the burden of Yalinju.
The plan for the villa he designed has also begun to be implemented, and then the entertainment of Yalinju, the monthly statements and ledgers, the arrangement of the food festival, and the problem of glass procurement in the villa appeared, and he almost had a nervous breakdown that day.
But fortunately, he still stabilized his mind, although the eldest brother is missing, he believes that the eldest brother will definitely come back, not to mention that there are hundreds of people in Yalin Ju, and he is also responsible for them.
So Wu Chen quickly calmed down, and after thinking about it, he wrote the letter that changed his life.
Obviously, what he wrote in the letter was that he wanted Li Yu to recommend a few glass merchants to solve the problem of the villa needing glass, but what he didn't expect was that the letter was only sent out for one day, and it was estimated that even the Fucheng next door had not passed, and on the third day, a small servant came to the door to send Li Yu's invitation, inviting Wu Chen to meet in the VIP room of the Twin Restaurants.
The strange development made Wu Chen scratch his head, but he still went to the appointment.
As soon as he stepped into the VIP room, Wu Chen saw eight or nine dishes on the table, and two pots of wine were served, with the posture of a Hongmen banquet.
"Li Gongzi, don't come unharmed." Wu Chen saluted Li Yu, he was still the same as the last time they met, as if he had been carved into a light wheat-colored handsome face, the slightly raised corners of his eyes under his long eyebrows, his eyes as black as obsidian, and the corners of his lips that seemed to be slightly hooked. This Li Yu is not like him, he has the air of a literati, nor is he as calm and cold as his eldest brother, nor is he like his father who exudes the momentum of a general.
I can't tell his temperament, but he looks like a very good person, but there is always an inexplicable meaning in his eyes. In short, Wu Chen has a good impression of this person, maybe because he is from Yuliang, maybe because he is the son of Liuli Pavilion.
Li Yu's thin lips were slightly raised, with a gentle smile, but she looked extremely sexy, "Long time no see, Wu Gongzi." I happened to come to Beijing to do business, and I remembered that I had played chess with Wu Gongzi, and at this time I was itchy and wanted to play another game with Wu Gongzi. ”
Wu Chen restrained the urge to roll his eyes, and said in his heart that this person is really okay, he is not proficient in this game of chess, from the previous game, Wu Chen intuitively felt that this person's chess skills were much higher than his own, and he could even fight with his father, obviously hiding his strength. This will call him to play chess with him, is this when he is having fun?
"But don't be in a hurry to play chess, I'm the hottest wine and food in the Twin Restaurants, Wu Gongzi might as well try it with me." Li Yu said with a smile.
As the second young master of the Twin Restaurants, which of the things on this menu has he not eaten? When there is a new menu, he will be the first to try it!
However, Wu Chen swept around the dishes on the table and suddenly found that they were all his favorite foods. I remembered that I was too busy these days, either I went out to socialize and drink, and rarely ate food, or I was busy in the study all day, and the meals were brought in by the next person, and he took a few bites casually, and he really didn't enjoy the taste of food.
Thinking about it, Wu Chen was also polite, "Thank you Li Gongzi, but it's only the two of us, you still order so many dishes, and you're not afraid that you won't be able to finish eating, I'll let the shopkeeper give you a nine-percent discount when you go back!" ”
Li Yu blinked, as if he hadn't gotten used to Wu Chen's changes, and sneered casually, "I thought you would give me a free order, so I gave me a nine-percent discount?" ”
Wu Chen casually picked up the big lobster that took up half of the plate, this is a big lobster that only Yalinju can have, and the fresh seafood specially shipped from Yaohai City. Wu Chen is a seafood lover, he didn't eat less of this big lobster, he directly grabbed the shrimp shell and twisted it, unloaded the second half of the meat, and opened the shell after dividing it by two, and the action was quite neat.
After putting the shrimp meat on the plate, Wu Chen poured Yalinju's special sauce on it, then took a bite with chopsticks, and said while eating: "Li Gongzi's words are wrong, our Yalinju is open the door to do business, you are a friend, it is natural for us Yalinju to give you a discount, if this is free, it will hurt your face, after all, you are not a person who can't afford a meal." ”
Wu Chen's eating appearance is not as elegant as he imagined, but he is not rude, he eats very arrogantly and fragrantly, looking at his eating appearance, people can't help but want to taste the lobster meat in his plate.
When he heard his words, Li Yu smiled helplessly, he didn't expect Wu Chen to be quite good at words, but he didn't dwell on this, it was better to have a discount than not. This meal in the Twin Restaurants, plus the additional cost of the VIP room, is estimated to be the living expenses of ordinary people for half a year, but for him, it is only a small amount of money.
"I heard that Wu Gongzi likes food, and when I saw it today, it was unexpected. However, it is better for Wu Gongzi to eat a little more, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I see that you have lost a lot of weight. Li Yu said, his eyes were full of worry, but it was only a flash, and Wu Chen did not find out.
For Li Yu's inexplicable concern, Wu Chen only felt weird, and only replied coldly: "It's okay." ”
His attitude was a little cold, and Li Yu's gaze dimmed slightly, and then he raised his strength and said, "I don't know if Gongzi Wu has tasted our Yuliang's specialty, the peony banquet?" ”
Speaking of this peony banquet, Wu Chen's two eyes shone like stars, and when he talked about this Jade Liang City, he still remembered it vividly, although he only went to play with his father and mother once when he was a child. A city that exists in the mountains and forests, the exterior walls of the houses are covered with greenery, like a Wizard of Oz, in addition to the beautiful scenery, the food is also quite tempting, especially the peony banquet......
Thinking of the peony banquet, I drooled, did Wu Chen go to Yuliang to invite the chef of the authentic Yuliang people to come to the house to eat, in order to eat him, it was not easy.
But later, when the Yuliang chef was old, he wanted to go back to Yuliang City and return to his roots, so he left Wufu three years ago, so Wu Chen was sad for a long time, and he found a few Yuliang chefs to come over, or he had learned a little bit of craftsmanship from the previous chefs, but the taste was all wrong, and it was not as delicious and authentic as the original chef.
Over time, Wu Chen also gave up, although he liked to eat Yuliang's dishes very much, but there were many more he liked to eat, Yuliang's dishes were just one of his many favorite dishes.
But as soon as Li Yu mentioned this, Wu Chen remembered the taste of the peony banquet again.
changed his tone to a relaxed tone: "I am fortunate to have been to Yuliang City with my family and tasted the peony banquet; But Li Gongzi, there are so many dishes on the table, when you mention the peony banquet, you can't help but eat in the bowl and look at the pot, right? Or is the food in our Yalinju not delicious? ”
"Hahaha, no, no, the delicacies of Yalinju are the delicacies of the entire Wu Dynasty, and even the delicacies of Yuliangsai. It's just that Wu Gongzi loves to eat so much, I don't know if you have tasted our Yuliang specialties, if you haven't tasted it, I would like to invite Wu Gongzi to taste it, comment on it. ”
Wu Chen twisted his eyebrows and asked, "What does Li Gongzi mean ......by this?" ”
"To be honest, I don't have any hobbies, and I occasionally cook some jade cold dishes on weekdays, and my skills are not high-level. If Wu Gongzi appreciates his face and wants to taste the characteristics of Yuliang, I can make a few dishes for you to taste. ”
Wu Chen hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, "No, no, you are really polite." Suddenly thinking about it, Wu Chen led the topic to the sorrow in his heart, and said busily: "Alas, Li Gongzi, I want to taste your craftsmanship, but I have too many things to do in the past few days." Just the day before yesterday, there was something wrong with the glaze merchant who has been cooperating with us for a long time in Yalinju, and I also wrote a letter to Li Gongzi, and it just so happened that you sent an invitation, otherwise I might have pushed your post today. ”
Li Yu was a little surprised and said, "Oh? Why did the glazer have a problem? ”
The manpower sent by Wu Chen was still investigating, and he didn't know the reason very well, only that there was a mysterious person who bought most of the glaze produced in Yuliang City this year. I just said helplessly: "I don't know for the time being, now I just want to ask Mr. Li if he can do a favor and recommend a few familiar glass merchants?" In order to solve the matter of our Yalinju, Wu must be very grateful to Li Gongzi. ”
Wu Chen said very sincerely, because this villa plan was his hard work, and naturally he didn't want the villa he designed to lack anything and leave any regrets.
"Wu Gongzi, you are really joking, I know a lot of glass merchants, but why should Wu Gongzi be willing to go far and let me introduce you to the glass merchants?" Li Yu took a sip of the tea on the table, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
